Hello hello. Decided to watch this when I saw that Andreescu was doing so well. Have watched hardly any tennis this year.

Bon soir magi

Does nobody mention Serena’s weight? She is clearly heavier than previously. Looking at photos of her in previous years (before she became a mother, obvs 😀) she is much, much leaner. It can’t be doing her any favours in terms of movement and speed.

Hey Grouchy Smile

WellTidy · 07/09/2019 22:12

Another double fault from Serena? Christ. What a shocker she is having on serve.

PrivateSpidey · 07/09/2019 22:15

Is that Spike Lee?! Nice glasses!

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:15

Hey Private.

Andreescu is so powerful. And only 19. I love seeing the younger ones coming through.

PrivateSpidey · 07/09/2019 22:16

She is, and she's fast as well isn't she? Wicked combination.

PrivateSpidey · 07/09/2019 22:20

Hmm this is going to be interesting now after Serena won that long game....

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:20

Yes. Serena is powerful but I don't think she's fast around the court. Can't remember if she was when younger, though!

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:21

If she continues winning games I'm going to have to go because it's my fault. Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:21

Serena is very rattled.

Raahh · 07/09/2019 22:22

Is anyone on Bianca's side (apart from us). Hmm

Who would be commentating if it was ,say, Halep and Svitolina in the final.

They wouldn't be bothered at all, really, who won, would they?

Raahh · 07/09/2019 22:24

Serena has always lumbered around a bit. He shoes annoy me. I don't know if she is, but they make her look very flat footed.

The difference in body shape between her and Venus like chalk and cheese.

WellTidy · 07/09/2019 22:25

Omg. I am all agog.

Raahh · 07/09/2019 22:26

My prime has GONE OFF

ARGHHH

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:27

Shock What just happened then?!

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:28

Oh no Raahh. That's a bastard.

WellTidy · 07/09/2019 22:29

Oh no Raahh. What bloody awful timing. Andreescu is 4-1 up, Serena serving. 0-15.

Raahh · 07/09/2019 22:29

I'm BACK!
That was annoying Grin

Raahh · 07/09/2019 22:32

When/If Bianca wins , I hope to goodness she does not apologise to Serena for beating her, or any of that shit.

Own the moment!

GrouchyKiwi · 07/09/2019 22:32

COME ON Bianca!

WellTidy · 07/09/2019 22:32

Finally. A word about Andreescu’s performance.

Raahh · 07/09/2019 22:33

And Serena had better bloody be more more gracious than last year. She is nearly 40. She is a mother Grin. Start acting like an adult.

PrivateSpidey · 07/09/2019 22:34

Omg I can't believe this
